Depths as Yet Unspoken: Whiteheadian Excursions in Mysticism Multiplicity and Divinity

Whiteheads thought continues to attract attention in mathematics and metaphysics but few have recognized with Roland Faber the deeply mystical dimensions of his philosophy. If you like to phrase it so Whitehead states philosophy is mystical. For mysticism is direct insight into depths as yet unspoken. Where however do these unspoken depths speak in Whitehead and what are their associated themes in his philosophy? For the first time Depths As Yet Unspoken gathers together Fabers most compelling writings on Whiteheads mutually immanent themes of mysticism multiplicity and divinity. In dialogue with a diversity of voices from process philosophers and theologians to mystical and poststructuralist thinkers Faber creatively articulates Whiteheads theopoetic process cosmogony in its relevance to metaphysics cosmology everyday experience religious pluralism and interreligious violence spirituality and longstanding concerns of the theological tradition including creation the Trinity revelation religious experience and divine mystery. Although Whiteheads mystical inclinations may not be obvious at first they in fact constitute the apophatic backdrop to his entire philosophical corpus. Through Fabers work Whiteheads philosophy is revealed to be nothing short of a remarkable endeavor to speak to the unfathomable depth of things.
